Storyline

When circus dog Bingo runs away from the Big Top, he saves the life of Chuckie, a young boy who is having trouble fitting in. The two quickly become best friends--skateboarding, playing pinball, and doing math homework together. But Chuckie's parents discover the stowaway pooch and make no bones about the fact that Bingo will not accompany them on their cross-country move. What follows is a heart-warming 1000-mile adventure of puppy love and loyalty as Bingo and Chuckie encounter nutty characters and hilarious situations in their quest to be reunited. Dog catchers, kidnappers, hospitals, and not even prison can keep these two apart. Written by Uber Minion

Trivia

Even though they ultimately lost to the Green Bay Packers in the film, the Detroit Lions were given a rare dose of respect, considering their track record since their heyday in the 1950s. (They were going into the game as being in first place in the division, and only lost by a field goal.) See more »

An absolute hoot.
4 March 2002 | by jack.hunterSee all my reviews

Normally I am not much for any movie that features an animal and as a result I avoided watching this movie as long as I could. However, since my grand daughter and my wife watched it over and over for months it was inevitable that I would be exposed to it. What a joy. To my surprise it was a parody, and a clever one at that. Once I realized the film was a spoof and being played for laughs I couldn't stop laughing. The well written script and hilarious sight gags make this fun for adults and children. However, I do have one complaint about the writing. Why was the limited profanity in the script? It adds nothing to the movie and worst of all is not funny. I can't believe that a guy like me who likes "Pulp Fiction" would be making this complaint, but without the needless profanity this is a perfect family movie. Profanity aside "Bingo" is a hoot.
